hey everybody, I'm new to the forum! But I figured i start a build thread for my 32 gtr.

Basically i always wanted a 32 gtr and after owning a few commodores i thought it was time to actually get one. i bought it about 2 years ago with the intention of building a nice street gtr by starting with a pretty cheap base and starting from there.

So after searching for one for a few weeks i decided on this one, it is a Dark blue 1989 model with minor mods and mainly just rough around the edges due to the previous owner neglecting it. So i made a deposit on it and picked it up a few days later and on the drive home the oil pump gave out due not being serviced for quite some time. So i started saving for bits and pieces to have my first try at building a forged bottom end. Due to a lack funds I tried to do as much as i could for just a basic first build then in time i could redo it when Ive got the money to fund it all.

Heres the specs so far, let me know what you think

Engine: R32 rb26 Block (decked, honed and dipped), R33 crank (reground .020 and balanced), tomei sump baffle, tomei oil restrictor, eagle Rods with arp bolts, Wisco 86.5, N1 water and oil pumps, Nismo thermostat, ACL race series bearings, all new genuine nissan gaskets, braided turbo lines, rebuilt r33 turbos with steel wheels, SplitFire Coils, Mspec 50mm radiator, blitz mesh pods,aircon removed, powdercoated cam and belt covers with a polished coil cover, gizzmo electronic boost controller and excedy button clutch

Exhaust: Apexi N1 3" stainless exhaust with aftermarket downpipes

Suspension: HSD HR Coilovers, Hicas lock bar with hicas completely removed

Wheels: 18x10 +15 Rota Grids with rays nutts

Other Modifications: UAS Big front rotor kit, inc billet caliper spacer (from a 292mm to 330mm rotor), Ferodo DS3000 pads, DBA 5000 two piece slotted rotor, apexi boost gauge, auto meter oil press gauge, hks turbo timer and Speed limit defender, N1 front vents, 5% tint on the rear section, HIDs, rear wiper deleted, modified headlights, momo steering wheel, trust gear knob and snap release boss kit.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
